Welcome!

Here you may recall  our past Navy friends and co-workers on the NAVCOMPARS, the LDMX and the many systems that grew from  them (i.e. RIXT, NAVMACS, CUDIXS, PCMT, GATEGUARD, FOTACS, MMS). Recall and add to the history of their planning, development,  maintenance, and implementation of the NAVCOMPARS from 1972 to retirement in 2003.   Find where many  friends and co-workers are today, where they have been and what they been doing on"lesser efforts"  in the NCP Directory.

E-mail me to add or edit your history and doings with old friends, or to add some personal history insights to the "legacy" systems.

Yes, still planning to get fixed (year plus later)
Would love to say having too much fun, but would not be quite true.  Side tracked into family items, having AutocadLt2011 update kick my butt.  The damns *#%&%& Autodesk decided to foll the Bill Gates policy of change everything so it looks different and we will tell you what and how to use your computer!!!  Except of course many, many exisiting issues and holes.  Then found need to move a bunch of stuff into Excel and need to learn macros and VBA to get anything really done! But, if do can get out of my application that does it all and give to some other volunteers to handle as they use Excel.

Hope all are having fun.

Excel 2003 "isblank" function - seems worthless
Well not doing anything on this site as you can likely  tell.  Been playing with Excel to find that the function ISBLANK in 2003 veson does not find a cell blank if the cell has a forumula which fills the cell with three spaces.  Once again I  am #%&%$ Microsoft and Xerox and Apple for not putting Mr. Gate out business nor with """" either.  Hopfully after the holiday I will have resolved my Excel problems and can get back to updating the site.  So much to add and number of new people to add.  And of course Face Book is well not my cup of tea about all I should say about it.  Art Lyndon should appreciate my more mellow thoughts at least.

All have great holiday and of course have fun.

BH Navy Days - also a face book group
Finally, using the host site builder application go a pretty site together and most of what you viewd linked.  Much more to do, but looks better I am sure you will agree.   Also, joined Face Book - created a private group for us to exchange thing to share with old gang and co-employees.  Now to figure out how it works.

Another visit to rebuild site

Got some more sad news this week after hearing first of Wayne Ponder in hospital, then Badge e-mailed that L-Squared (Lary Lisner) left us in Jan.  And got some responses of memories that kicked me to take another try at this.  Have to see how this works as I am removing 30 year old wallpaper in dining room.  Thus, taking 20 minutes while the paper remover spray (DIF) does whatever it does to get stuff to sort of peel off.  Boy, do I hate change - it means work!  Now have to first figure what the hell I did last time I started this new setup trying to use the host's site bulder software.  Which of course does not let me do half of what I want, but is a lot better looking color and graphics.

12 Sept 2009 - another start
Again, I have gotten back to updating and fixing up the site.  This time using the new site-bulder application at the host.  It is slow as hell, but has pretty graphics and does auto backups for me.  But memory and disk space are no issue to today's programmers.

I will link to most of my old pages from the "pretty" pages which they have made a bit of task. Mainly wish to use their quick and easy setup for this Blog (which I am learning) and their photogallery application after I get most of the stuff setup.
